Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the Life and Labours of Alexander Milton Ross, Philanthropist and Scientist
From 1839 until 1842 the time was spent in the acquirement of such knowledge as the common country school afforded. Though our young friend entered eagerly on the pursuit of its curriculum, limited, to say the least, his favorite study - indeed, his most delightful pastime was the contemplation of animated nature. The birds especially offered him a whole world of fascinating wonders, and never was a child so happy as he, listening to the stories of bird life, or, better yet and oftener, resting in some leafy covert, gathering, with a degree of intelligent observation far above his years, an intimate and extraordinary knowl edge of the feathered tribe, their habits and their peculiarities.
